Stone Strategic Management offers an exclusive opportunity for CEOs and Business Owners to gather on a regular basis to share insights, address challenges and exchange ideas. These small invitation-only groups address pressing matters and opportunities within their individual businesses, contemplate new concepts, and hone their leadership skills – all in a confidential, non-competitive setting. Through shared history and experiences, participants build long-term bonds of mutual support. Within the group setting as well as one-on-one, these peer relationships are invaluable resources to business leaders’ success.

Once a month, members meet to discuss their individual business goals, results, challenges and successes; hear from invited CEO’s or other presenters on a range of thought provoking subjects; and focus on the core attributes of effective leadership.

The members benefit from the fresh perspectives and varied experiences of leaders outside their own organizations and industries and from the candor with which they can explore sensitive topics together. Participants hold one another accountable for performance, helping each other to maintain focus on their most important objectives. Members and presenters may also provide first-hand assessments of, and valuable introductions to, sources of capital, talent, and other resources.

The Business Leadership Forum provides CEOs and Business Owners:• The opportunity to come together on a regular basis to benefit from the collective insight of their peers.
• A forum for meaningful exchange of ideas with those outside their company and industry, for fresh perspective combined with seasoned experience.
• Relevant and thought provoking Information and concepts from presenters outside the group.
• Scheduled time to focus on being effective leaders.
• The foundation for lasting relationships with others, forged in shared experiences, knowledge, and trust.

I am a vacation ownership resort developer and an attorney. I recently engaged Nancy Stone as a consultant to review all of my resort operations (housekeeping, HOA, landscaping, food and beverage, etc.) as well as my corporate operations (accounting, collections, back-of-house). I gave her an open mandate to review every aspect of my business. Her insights over the last three months have proved invaluable to me. She addressed issues on a macro and micro level. Her written work was superlative. Perhaps most impressive was her ability to work with my staff, gain their confidence, and get them to buy-in to all of her suggestions (and participate in the formulation of those suggestions). Nancy is intelligent and tough-minded. But she is also a compassionate humanist who understands human psychology on a profound level. She is delightful to work with, has a wonderful sense of humor, and required virtually no guidance from me as she completed her review. I give her the highest recommendation possible as a business consultant.
